And CNN wonders why we don't believe them?

For those who may have missed the Drudge report on it, CNN broadcast a speech Vice President Dick Cheney was giving live and somehow a big black X placeholder flashed over his face. CNN says it was a technical glitch.

Now, which scenario is more credible? The black X placeholder, used by hundreds of broadcasters thousands if not millions of times a day, suddenly developed a glitch in the middle of Vice President Cheney's speech? Or, some technician working at CNN who hates the administration thought it might be fun to try to humiliate the vice president in front of millions of viewers (reportedly a technician was heard laughing at the time).
